furious in the cotton region. Through

dismal weather. He made his first fish
| ing excursion, but his usual good luck
did not attend him. He came over from
his cabin soon after O'Clock in the morn

suit Of corduroy. The Presidents snort
sack cost over gray flannel shirt gave
him quite q sportsman like appearance.

oueI Lamont sIso accompanied them, and
another guide followed them in another
boat. Both boats returned three hours
later. The President and his Secretary
found the wind unfavorable, and
did not try very hard to catch
anything; at all events they did
not get any fish Another trip
on the lake was made in the afternoon
with no better results. There was a
brilliant sunset, with prospects Of fine
weather Sunday and the fine weather
came according to promise, the sun rising
in sky obscured only by f3ecy clouds
that rested Just at the tops OF the distant
mountain peaks. There was a few early
risers at Saranac inn. The presidential
party breakfasted at 10 O'Clock, the Pres
ident and his secretary appearing in the
camping costumes they wore Saturday !
Mrs. Cleveland wore tailor made suit of
black and cardinal felt hat, about which
8 quantity of white null was twisted. !
Mrs. LamOnt's dress was 6 close fitting |
one of gray and she wore gray felt hat |
with blue band.

chatted with the guests and rested quiet |
ly at his cottage until O'Clock, when he |
ana his party joined the other guests in
the general dining-room. There we're no |
excursions or fishing expeditions to-day |
The ladies went to little chapel not far
from the hotel and in the absence of q
